Toddler's fracture: an updated guide on evaluation and management.
J Pediatr Orthop B
September 2024
Toddler's fractures are commonly encountered in pediatric healthcare. These injuries are associated with little to no risk of fracture displacement or failure to heal, regardless of treatment modality. The standard treatment for these injuries has historically been several weeks of weightbearing restriction and immobilization in a circumferential cast or posterior splint.

- A study focused on the Health-related Quality of Life (HrQoL) of stage IV melanoma patients undergoing combined immunotherapy (ipilimumab + nivolumab) found that tracking HrQoL is essential due to immune-related adverse events (irAEs).
- The research surveyed 35 patients using specific questionnaires to assess changes in HrQoL during treatment, six months later, and when autoimmune colitis began.
- Results indicated stable HrQoL throughout the treatment; however, women experienced worse physical health scores than men, and patients with disease progression showed declining HrQoL in both physical and mental health aspects.
Background: Despite a tremendous increase in the number of orthopaedic devices authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), novel devices designed specifically for the pediatric population remain sparse.

If the body is mobile, the attached bubbles can lift it upward against gravity, but a fluid-air interface can clean the surface of these lifting agents and the body may plummet. The process then begins anew, and continues for as long as the concentration of gas in the fluid supports it.

Hemiepiphysiodesis is an effective way to correct coronal plane knee deformities in skeletally immature patients, but a full understanding of the rate of angular correction after hemiepiphysiodesis in XLH patients, compared with idiopathic cases is lacking.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of 24 XLH patients and 37 control patients without metabolic bone disease who underwent hemiepiphysiodesis.
